    Default Is This a Rare One? Is it Good? WW2 Soviet Medals

    Hello!! newbie here, I have been bit by the bug. I am going to be asking a lot of questions coming up, just a little warning & warming up : )

    Is this type of ring attachment at top of this combat service medal, a rare or scarce variation type? Most I have seen have a ring soldered to the top.
    Was this medal made & awarded during WW2, not after?

    When looking at numbered Soviet medals are all the 6 digit awards generally WWII pre 45 made and awarded?

    Is there some online reference to these number ranges?

    Also pics of an order of Red Star medal. I would like to buy this one also. Is this Red Star order/medal pre 45 made and awarded?
    It seems the engraver made a mistake, or he/she carved the "39" deeper on purpose, not sure.

    I know both are salty, and not mint, but I like them exactly like this.

    Thanks, Regards, Steve

    Is this "U" type of ring attachment at top of this combat service medal, a rare or scarce variation type? Most I have seen have a ring soldered to the top.
